The Curfew is not being enforced, imprisons you, and does not prevent kids who are over 17 to commit crimes. There is always no one to enforce the curfew, and it is hard to enforce. You feel as you are in a prison, you should have control over your own life, and government should not tell you what to do. Finally, kids 17 years and younger do not commit crimes.

Curfew is not possible to enforce because you can not tell by just looking at someone and saying that they are 17 years or younger. In addition, since this is a free country, you do not have to have an ID with you all the time. For example, a Police Officer is walking on a street and sees several teenagers going on the same side. He can not tell whether they are 17 years or younger or not. Police Officer will not even bother to stop and ask anyone for an ID. Since it is not possible to enforce the curfew at all times, during the night, city is spending tax money for something that is impossible to enforce.

Curfew makes you feel imprisoned since you can not leave house for parties or be at one of your friend\'s house for long time. Lets say that I have to get some programs for computer from one of my friends and it might take a long time to do that. So after I finish and it will be past midnight, so I have to violate the curfew because it is too late and everyone is sleeping. By reason of an emergency or some kind of deed that might be lengthy and will violate the curfew, it might be impossible to obey the curfew.

Finally, kids who are 17 years of age and below do not commit crimes. I do not know any criminal who is less than 17 years of age or less since you are limited in transportation and money. Kids who are 17 years of age and below do not commit crimes, therefore spending tax payer\'s taxes for something that will have no use at all.

The Curfew is not being enforced since it is hard to identify the persons by their looks, puts an end to your fun, and does not prevent kids who are over 17 to commit crimes. Since there are no police cars given order to look only for curfew violators, it is going to be a drag to check someone. Some districts do not have a curfew, but others do, so if you go to a party in one district and you are from another, you might violate the curfew. All the kids that commit crims, such as burglaries or robberies, may have an adult with them, and curfew will not stop the crime.

The 1930s The Good Times and The Bad Times The 1930’s: The Good Times and The Bad Times The decade of the 1930’s can be characterized in two parts: The Great Depression, and the restoration of the American economy.

Problems with Gun ControlProblems with Gun Control If the second amendment does not mean what it says, what about the first?, this was the question asked by author, and National Rifle Association member, Bill Clede.

Gun ControlGun Control Gun control has been a hot topic for very long time. People on the anti- gun control side believe that gun ownership is a Constitutional right backed by the Second Amendment.

Jury Nullification and Its Effects on Black AmericaJury Nullification and Its Effects on Black America It is obvious that significant improvements have been made in the way that the criminal justice system deals with Blacks during the history of the United States. Blacks have not always been afforded a right to trial, not to mention a fair one. Additionally, for years, Blacks were unable to serve on juries, clearly affecting the way both Blacks and whites were tried. Much of this improvement has been achieved through various court decisions, and

The Context of The Second AmendmentThe Context of The Second Amendment The interpretation of the Second Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America has been a topic of controversy since its acceptance over two-hundred years ago. This controversy stems from the fact that the amendment was written for reasons for the most part that do not have any relevance today. One side argues the amendment void, and the other takes it out of historical context so it portrays the meaning they want. To understand what the second

Why Do Governments Find It So Hard To Control Public ExpenditureWhy Do Governments Find It So Hard To Control Public Expenditure? Since the 1970's rising public expenditure has become a politically salient issue, with the focus being on the difficulties experienced in trying to control it.

The Four Political Parties of CanadaThe Four Political Parties of Canada In a country as vast and as culturally diverse as Canada, many different political opinions can be found stretched across the country.

Clinton will serve another four years as president since Americans know what to expect from him as president. On several key issues, such

Constitutional DemocracyConstitutional Democracy The basic premise of a constitutional democracy is that government has rules and all of the people have voices. Through free and fair elections we elect candidates to represent us. The Constitution of the United States guarantees us the right to do this, and to live democratically.

Woodrow Wilson and The PresidencyWoodrow Wilson and The Presidency From the beginning of the 1912 election, the people could sense the new ideas of Woodrow Wilson would move them in the right direction.

Once effected, the Sixteenth Amendment resulted in the amassing of government funds on the national level. This reserve of money enabled the national government to initiate a multitude of national p

Rather, it encompasses many shades of gray. At the one end of the spectrum you have t
